Jeremiah 15:14-16
New International Version
14 I will enslave you to your enemies
in[a] a land you do not know,(A)
for my anger will kindle a fire(B)
that will burn against you.”
15 Lord, you understand;
remember me and care for me.
Avenge me on my persecutors.(C)
You are long-suffering(D)—do not take me away;
think of how I suffer reproach for your sake.(E)
16 When your words came, I ate(F) them;
they were my joy and my heart’s delight,(G)
for I bear your name,(H)
Lord God Almighty.
